They Said You Can't Stay in America...
Mustafa Akbayrak, a native of Rize, left his family in Rize and went to America alone years ago. Life wasn't easy for him; he started working at a young age, working at various jobs. He has lived in the United States for 46 years and, at 77, still works.
He and his wife built a house through hard work. However, this long journey wasn't without pain—having lost two sons, Mustafa continued to cling to life despite all the hardships.
This documentary tells the story of a lifetime of hard work, perseverance, and the ever-lasting light of hope.
